    LMTV arrived

    Low mileage isn't the panacea many make it out to be. I've seen more low mileage trucks be impossible money pits than trucks with higher mileage.

    Which is best, SF97 or State Certificate of Title? In TX

    The problem with going the Florida title route in Texas is you generally get the title documents 6-8 weeks after the sale date and Texas charges you a penalty up to $250.00. With the SF-97 you don't have that penalty.

    Fmtv 3116 info

    The Stryker used a C7 The highest factory horsepower on the 3116 was 375hp on marine versions. The 3126 was 425 for the marine version and I believe the C7 was 475 on marine versions.

    Fmtv 3116 info

    There are a couple ways.. One is to install injectors with large nozzle orifices and inject more fuel per stroke, or adjust the rack travel, or both. However the turbo is rather small for the horsepower level, so unless you are prudent with EGT's any fueling upgrades will need a turbo upgrade...
